It has been stated that SA is one of the best countries for remarkable vacations and tours. This country is among the most colorful and varied as far as its inhabitants and the many different cultures are concerned. If you are thinking about adding a tour to your holiday itinerary, then read on to find out about a few of the wonderful things you can experience in SA.
It is thought to be one of the most lovely locations on earth because of the way the land transforms itself every season. In spring the land goes from a dry, barren wasteland to a wonderland of color with beautiful wild flowers that blanket the once boring landscape.
A lot of SA history was written on these fields with the battles of the British, the Boers and the Zulu. Some of the bloodiest battles were fought on this land, such as the battle of Islandwana and Rorke's Drift, which spawned the classic movie called Zulu in 1964.
Still, for those who like history and the wilderness, is the Drakensberg Mountains. Drakensberg translates to Dragon Mountain in Afrikaans. The Drakensberg is the Wild West of South Africa and is a lovely, wild place.
A South African tours type holiday cannot be complete without experiencing the Cape Winelands. For all wine lovers on vacation in SA, the Cape Winelands is a must! A few of the best towns to see are Stellenbosch, Franschoek, Paarl and Durbanville Hills. Wine tours and wine festivals are run at some of the finest of the Capes wine estates, depending on the time of year, and offer some of the most beautiful farmlands around. Some even have small ranch house bistro's on the property, and even have the tables laid out in the vineyards, among the grape vines. While you enjoying your tasty lunch, you can purchase wine straight from the farm stall you are lunching at. It genuinely is an experience well worth the trip!
So in a nutshell, choosing to go the tour group way of holidaying can be just as pleasurable and rewarding as selecting a self drive vacation. The benefit to a tour is that you do not need GPS or maps to get around since the guide will know where to go and the best ways to get there. It's different, and just as much fun, so give it some thought.
